Old School Sayings

Apr 15, 2006 11:32

A friend to all is a friend to none.

A man is known by the company he keeps.

A poor man's memories could be a rich mans Goal

Act in haste, repent in leisure.

After all is said and done, usually more is said than done.

Always do right - this will gratify some and astonish the rest

Ashes of love are cold as ice

Ask me no questions and I will tell you no lies

Bad weather gets better, a bad man never does

Food so good, you could slap your grandma

Ben like a willow or break like an oak

Better death than dishonor

Blind in one eye and can't see out of the other

Change a fool against his will, he's of the same opinion still

Character secures respect

Close only counts in horseshoes

Count your blessings, not your problems

Courage of your convitions

Discretion is the better part of valor

D-liver, D-letter, D-sooner, D-better

Eyes see everything but themselves

Faint hearts never won fair maidens

Fire answers fire

Fool me once, shame on you; fool me twice, shame on me

Fool's names and fool's faces always show up in public places

Fools rush in where Angel's fear to tread

Gather rosebuds while you may

Genius is one percent inspiration and ninety-nine percent perspiration

Hell hath no furry like a woman scorned

Home is where the heart is

Hope is a waking dream

Hope is hearing the melody of the future, Faith is to dance it

Hope is like the sun which as we walk toward it, cast a shadow of our burdens behind us

I cried because I had no shoes until I saw the man who had no feet

I didn't like the color of his money

I may be tall but I sure am short

I might as well I can't dance

If a wolf came to my house to eat he would have to bring a sack lunch

If he accidentally told you the truth, he would come back and apologize

If you think you are talking to a backward person you might consider facing them

It is better to light a candle than curse the darkness

It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the Kindom of God

It is only with the heart that one can see rightly, what is essectial is invisible to the eye

It's cold as blue blazes

Jack of all trades and master of none

Love is the master key which open the gates of happiness

Lying is like being pregnant, sooner or later everyone will know

Men's evil manners live in brass; their virtues we write in water

No one can make you feel inferior without your consent

No one is so blind as those that don't want to see

No ill wind has ever blown a man to good

People are dying today that have never died before

Principles are useless, unless embodied in action

Running after a shadow is a wearisome race

So broke that if it took a quarter to leave town, you couldn't cross the street

Steeping my life in beauty brings color to my days and song to my heart

The best and most beautiful things in the world cannont be seen or even touched, They must be felt by the heart

The palest ink is stronger than the strongest memory

The path of darkness may not reach the light

The path of light is easiest found by looking up

Those we travel the world over to find the beautiful, we must carry it with us, or we find it not
